SMART CONTRACT ENABLED
A PirateGirls NFT is a non-fungible Ethereum-based token that uses smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain (“Smart Contracts”). The Ethereum blockchain provides an immutable ledger of all transactions that occur on the blockchain. This means that all PirateGirls NFTs are outside of the control of any one party, including PirateGirls, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. PirateGirls neither owns nor controls MetaMask, WalletConnect, the Ethereum network, your browser, or any other third party site, product, or service (including third party wallets or marketplaces) that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the Services or to purchase, list, auction, or sell PirateGirls NFTs (“Transaction”), and that, except with respect to transferring control of a PirateGirls NFT to the initial purchaser through the Services (“Initial Purchaser”), PirateGirls has no responsibility with respect to any Transaction. PirateGirls will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any third parties, nor will PirateGirls be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any third parties. You understand that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a Transaction. Aside from transferring control of the PirateGirls NFT to the Initial Purchaser, PirateGirls has no control over the transfer, storage, ownership or maintenance of the PirateGirls NFT.
Changes to services
PirateGirls reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that PirateGirls will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services, including in relation to any PirateGirls NFT.
Connecting your wallet
In order to access and use the Services, including engaging in a Transaction on the Services, you must connect your account to your digital wallet supported on MetaMask, WalletConnect or other wallet extensions or gateways as allowed on the Services. Such digital wallets allow you to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using the native Ethereum cryptocurrency, ETH. When you link your cryptocurrency wallet, you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet and your control over any wallet-related authentication credentials, private or public cryptocurrency keys, non-fungible tokens or cryptocurrencies that are stored in or are accessible through your wallet. Any unauthorized access to your cryptocurrency wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of PirateGirls NFTs and/or funds held in your wallet and any associated wallets, including any linked financial information such as bank account(s) or credit card(s). PirateGirls is not responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your cryptocurrency wallet. PirateGirls has no responsibility or liability to you for any unauthorized access to or use of your cryptocurrency wallet or if you are unable to locate your credentials. If you notice any unauthorized or suspicious activity in your cryptocurrency wallet that seems to be related to the Services, please notify us immediately.
Sale of PirateGirls NFT
When each PirateGirls NFT is sold for the first time, the agreement for sale is between PirateGirls and the Initial Purchaser. If the Initial Purchaser decides to sell a PirateGirls NFT (“Secondary Sale”), then PirateGirls is not a party to any agreement between the applicable buyer, seller, or facilitator of the Secondary Sale.
If you or any owner of a PirateGirls NFT (“Collector”) sells or transfers a PirateGirls NFT to another collector, (a) then you, as Collector, represent and warrant that you will notify the subsequent collector of these Terms and require the subsequent collector to comply with these Terms, (b) the Collector License (as defined below) as set forth herein will automatically transfer to such subsequent collector, and such other collector will be deemed the “Collector” (for purposes of such PirateGirls NFT and the Collector License to the underlying Art (as defined below)) and will be subject to these Terms, and (c) you, as the seller or transferor of such PirateGirls NFT, will cease to have any further rights to such PirateGirls NFT or underlying Art.
By placing an order on the Site or through the Services (including by bidding in an auction), you agree that you are submitting a binding offer to purchase a PirateGirls NFT, you agree to pay all applicable fees associated with the Transaction, and you authorize PirateGirls to automatically charge and collect such fees from your payment instrument or wallet. If you are an Initial Purchaser, then all amounts due are to be paid to PirateGirls. If you are not the Initial Purchaser of a PirateGirls NFT, then amounts may be paid to the seller of such PirateGirls NFT.
You acknowledge and agree that PirateGirls receives 5.0% of every Secondary Sale of a PirateGirls NFT (“Royalty”). PirateGirls has the right to collect Royalties for PirateGirls sales in perpetuity. As such, if you sell a PirateGirls NFT on a third-party marketplace, you agree to include a statement substantially similar to the following in the description of the NFT: “5.0% Royalty Applies. By purchasing a PirateGirls NFT, you agree to the Terms of Use located at https://pirategirls.xyz/terms”
No refunds are permitted except with respect to any statutory warranties or guarantees that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
Taxes
You are responsible for any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority, associated with your use of the Services, Perks or PirateGirls NFTs (including, without limitation, any taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, transfer, purchase, or sale of a PirateGirls NFT).

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, PirateGirls grants you a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the digital art represented by your PirateGirls NFT (“Art”), along with any extensions that you choose to create or use, solely for the following purposes: (i) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your PirateGirls NFT, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each PirateGirls NFT owner’s rights to display the Art for their PirateGirls NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; or (iii) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your PirateGirls NFT, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each PirateGirls NFT owner’s rights to display the Art for their PirateGirls NFT to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the PirateGirls NFT leaves the website/application.
